Chapter 38 The Letter of Attraction
...
The county school.
It was filled with sons who were highly expected by their families.
The lobby, bright windows, wide tables, soft chairs.
The teacher was on the stage, holding a book and reading aloud with great emotion, tapping the table with his fingers, clapping the beat.
Offstage, the students followed him and read aloud, nodding their heads.
Some were reading seriously, while others were distracted.
Jiang Rong read with nodding his head. He was actually very smart. He could understand after listening to the teacher read once or twice. But this was a broken county school, and the teacher was not very good. He only taught like this every day. They
said that if you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear.
He wrote it down and read along, wasting time.
But the teacher was a complainer, so he could only follow and nod his head, looking out the window from time to time.
There is a tree outside the window, and on the tree there is a bird. The bird seemed to notice his gaze, fluttered once, and flew away with its wings flapping.
Jiang Rong was a little envious, the birds were flying so high, so free.
...
The birds in the forest suddenly flew up in groups.
Flapping their wings, fluttering.
Gouzi's big brother is here.
Several teenagers who were making trouble were restrained.
Including Gouzi.
Jiang Feng first saw them in the tree.
There were only four of them.
They were all carrying weapons, and the last one had a spear. The two in the middle each held a machete, and the person in the front held an axe.
The man holding the axe had a scar on his face, which was very ugly.
Jiang Feng subconsciously touched the scar on his forehead.
It shouldn't be so ugly if my father took care of it.
He thought of a joke that people with scars on their faces cannot serve as officials in the court.
Gouzi led people to greet them warmly, calling them "big brother" in a flattering manner.
Jiang Feng also jumped down from the tree, followed behind him, and called them "big brother" together.
There were only six of them in their group, but there were originally eight people.
Erniu had a fight with someone the day before and his leg was broken, so he couldn't come.
Xiaosi's mother was seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed. He had to stay by her side, but he couldn't come.
There were six playboys left.
They were all poor kids, with nothing to do, no books to read, and they just lived a lazy
life and got together. You could always see them in the streets and alleys. They
didn't dare to make big mistakes, but they kept making small mistakes.
People like them had no future, and couldn't even get a wife.
Gouzi didn't know how he got to know the big brother, who said he would help the brothers get some benefits.
The moment they walked out of the city, their fate changed.
They took a one-way ticket out of the city.
The lives of the poor are worthless, so they didn't think much, just walked forward, as if they were dead, their eggs would fall to the sky, and they would live forever.
Jiang Feng was one of the few teenagers who thought.
Because he has a family, he cares about his family.
Because he cares about his family, he also followed.
He shouted especially loudly: "Big brother."
The few people holding knives, axes and spears saw the greenhorn in front of them, and smiled warmly with a hint of cruel mockery.
They used to be so naive and soft.
The teenagers looked at Gou Zi's big brother, and they were all a little nervous, and even stepped back subconsciously.
Jiang Feng quietly moved forward a little.
When they came, they said they were here to cheer, but seeing the big brothers in the village holding knives, axes and spears, who were so heroic and high-spirited, the teenagers were afraid and envious. The
big brother holding the axe patted Gou Zi, and at the same time patted Jiang Feng who squeezed in front of him, and praised: "Good job, follow me, eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
Gou Zi promised his friends that he only dared to say that the big brother would eat meat and they would drink soup. He didn't expect that the big brother would directly say that they would eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks together. Gou Zi was a little excited and his face turned red.
"Big brother, we will do whatever you tell us to do, without hesitation. These are all my good brothers, and we will listen to you." Gou Zi patted his chest and said with his neck stiff.
Jiang Feng followed his friends and agreed. He was neither the strongest nor the thinnest. He ate a lot and it was impossible for him to be fat. Gouzi had many
connections and was stronger. But Jiang Feng was smart and would get some food so he would not starve.
His eyes were sincere and his facial features were regular. He looked reliable among the teenagers.
Even the bandits had a good first impression of Jiang Feng.
"You will have your chance to show off in a while. Don't be in a hurry. Wait. Today, I will teach you the first lesson. Be patient and wait." The bandit with the axe sat down and wiped his axe. The axe handle was stained with thick blood and the axe blade was very sharp.
The other bandits also sat down and began to wipe their weapons.
The teenagers were unarmed and they were inexplicably excited.
Jiang Feng approached the bandit with the axe and asked, "Brother, can you give us a weapon? Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, I'm worried that we won't be able to help. I also want to be as great as you."
The bandit looked at the boy with eyes full of trust and admiration for him in surprise. He thought he was very sensible, very likable, and had a future. If he was not dead, he could be taken back to the village.
"Yes, Lao Jiu, take them to get it."
The bandit with the spear led them into the dense forest. Under a big tree, there were some good guys buried.
There were spears and knives, some long and some short, with blood stains and rust.
Jiang Feng picked a spear. A Niang had one and he had played with it.
The boys didn't expect that they would actually be given weapons just because they were called to cheer.
They thought it was just a fight between their friends and they watched and shouted slogans.
But when they saw these weapons, they were very excited, as if they were participating in a big event.
It didn't seem like they were here to rob people, but more like they were attending their own coming-of-age ceremony.
Gouzi picked up a big knife, and a group of people took the weapons they had chosen and started to fight around the eldest brother.
It was very joyful.
Several bandits didn't stop them, but just watched.
Jiang Feng joined in the fight, taking the opportunity to get familiar with the feel of the weapon, but it looked like he was just playing around, without any accuracy.
Jiang Feng noticed that the man who led them to get the weapons had climbed up the tree.
Suddenly, the man on the tree patted the branches, and the eldest brother raised the axe.
The young men stopped fighting.
They climbed down the dense forest like mature people, squatting and leaning their heads.
People were coming on the road not far away.
There were sedan chairs, servants, maids, guards, and wealthy people.
The young men's eyes lit up and they looked at the eldest brother expectantly.
Jiang Feng squinted his eyes and recognized the sedan. It belonged to the Jiang family. He also knew the servants and guards.
His heartbeat quickened.
He couldn't even hold back and wanted to rush out.
He turned the spear twice, and his palms were wet.
He felt as if he was relieved and happy after rushing out.
But he always remembered his father's words in his mind, Feng'er, if we can choose, we should be good people, be good people to take advantage, and take advantage everywhere.
He turned his head to look at the bandit brother.
He didn't say anything.
Gou Zi asked in a low voice: "Brother, shall we go?"
"Be careful, there are people behind you, don't move around." The bandit continued to wipe the axe.
A group of young men watched the sedan pass by.
Jiang Feng held the spear in one hand and rubbed the small pebble he had picked up with the other hand.
A group of ants were running around busily on the ground.
After a long time,
someone finally came.
This time, the young men were eager to try.
In the end, they were just two peddlers carrying baskets.
Jiang Feng knew the dwarf peddler. His sister Jiang Xiaoyu talked about him every day, saying that the candy he sold was the most delicious and especially sweet.
Thinking of Jiang Xiaoyu, Jiang Feng couldn't help but smile.
The young man had a shallow dimple on his cheek.
